******Okay peoples this is sposed to be a song... too bad it doesn't have music, oh welll...and I don't like the title much. Anywayzz...enjoy!


Reach out and touch the nothingness
Of what we used to be
Let lonely fingertips caress;
Erase captivity

Encased in withered parenting
Out tears don't cease to fall
Push away reality
Don't want to see it all
So let love be our fall...

Reach out and touch the crying eyes
Don't fail to comprehend
Let lonely teardrops reach the skies
Erase unhealthy blend

Encased in shriveled happiness
Bleak skies forever hold
The secrets of escapes and traps
Secrets forever told
Wish she wasn't so cold...

Reach out and touch the nothingness
Of what we're supposed to be
Let lonely fingertips caress;
Erase captivity

This one seems so good, I love it.  There was just something about it that just captured my thoughts.  Nice job

Yes, an MP3 would be nice, if it happens let us know.
This poem was very good... eye-catching.  I see how you could put music to it effectively.

This was great Carly, i read it again thinkin i didn't but when i did i caught something.....i like these lines:

Secrets forever told
Wish she wasn't so cold...

I loved that....nice one.





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

This is VERY good, Carly.  I loved it a lot, it gets an 8.5  
I have a critique... "wish she wasn't so cold" would flow much better if it was "wish she was not so cold," because at least for me, the word "not" had to be the accented syllable in order to carry on as I was reading.  It's hard to do an accented "n't."  see what I mean?
That was the one thing that bothered me, minus that, this piece is absolutely incredible.  
One more for the library today.
